EVERY night as I go to bed,
THINGS I see funny-looking
HEAD. bouncing about on their

All noiSy and WeiRd

cRaZy and truly for sure.

Was I day-dreaming

OR

did I need some

cure?

Some were and

FAT, some

were

TALL,

and some were
really,
really,
small.

They were noisy and

rowdy,

THINGS.funny-looking

Some with pink, hairy tails

and some with bright

purple

wings.

Oh,

Good
Golly
Gosh!

What if they spotted me?

What would I do?

And

how could I

FLEE ?

And if I told,

who would ever believe?

CRAZY They’d say I’m

and what would that

achieve?

One night I decided to be

BRAVE and BOLD

So, I told my dad

SCOLDbut he began to .

“ There are no such things as
these creatures, my boy.”

“ Now scurry on up to bed.
Perhaps it’s your imagination
or that old Toy ! ”

I sulked and sighed,
with very teary eyes.

“I’m not making this up,
I’m not speaking lies”.

I dragged myself to bed

that night,

thinking,

“ Please someone

HELP
ME

before another fright.”

As always, they were playing

AGAIN all over my room ,

All CRAZY, and WEIRD and

most definitely

INSANE .

They jumped and sang and danced

all night long.

So, I hid with Teddy and

I tried to stay

STRONG.

But then I screamed out loud,

and mum came in.
“What’s going on my son ?

You look as though

JUMPED you’ve
out of

your

skin? ”

“You’re paler than pale,

and you’re cold to the touch.

WHAT’S GOING ON ?

You have not

told

me
much.”

I grabbed my mum
tight and held her
,

“Mum, mum !

I cannot sleep at

night .”

“There are noisy, weird,

THINGS funny-looking
around my bed.

I tried to be brave,

but I got terribly

SCARED

instead.”

“What if they poked me,
or stung me,
or took me away?

Dad said there were no such

CREATURES
but they’re here
AGAIN

today.”

“ PLEASE

believe me,
I am not lying.

I just want them gone.

Please, please !

I have been

TRYING .”

Then mum smiled and

PUT the light on.

She gave me a warm hug
and shouted,

“Creatures, be gone!”

She looked at me as
though she knew,

And then softly whispered,

THINGS“I’ve seen these funny-looking

too,

FEW actually quite a ”
.

I could not believe

what my mum was saying.

Finally, someone who

BELIEVED ME…

I was always praying.

THINGS“ Are those funny-looking

gone now my son ? ”

YES“Yes mummy,!

Please tell me.

HOW ”
was that done ?

So, that night

mum very carefully

explained,

LEARNthat I had to

and

PRACTICE

over and over

AGAIN.

LIFT LIGHT“ your inside your body

to FORTY-SEVEN THOUSAND

watts or more,
and blast those
annoying creatures
from beneath
the
floor.”

EVERY“ Do this night

and you will see,

no more CRAZY, NOISY,
HAIRY things

tickling
your

From that night onwards

I did as she said,

AND GUESS WHAT?

No more funny-looking

THINGS under

my bed
